Not *artificial* friction, but *friction* that results in better notes.
Just enough friction that the ecosystem is in balance: the number of notes
created and evaluated are in harmony.
For example the main notes form could be expanded to:
*What needs updating?* _____________________________________________________
(required)
*How do you know?*________________________________________________________
(required)
*Optional: let the mapper who will read you note know a little about you.
There is no need to leave a name:*
_______________________________________________________________________(optional)
*[BUTTON: SUBMIT]*
Please confirm: a volunteer will read your note, which is as follows:
* Right turn restriction here: bikes only for a right turn.
* I pass it every day when biking to work. Here's a link to a photo
http://picpaste.org/xxxxsfsf
* I am a student at the School of Hard Knocks
*[BUTTON: PUBLISH ON OPEN STREET MAP]*
The objective should be that valuable notes are seen in a timely manner, by
someone able to evaluate and resolve them.
*Too many low quality notes and you burn out the mapper energy to respond
to them!*
*Eventually it could become a negative cycle: fewer mappers clearing notes,
leads to more clutter, leads to fewer mappers*
*clearing them.*
Perhaps the most frustrating type of note is one where the writer clearly
meant to help, but there's just not
enough information available to act on it.
